The National Sports Museum is conceived to support the ability to showcase the heritage value of the Melbourne Cricket Ground in relation to Australia. The Melbourne Cricket Ground is built in 1853 and has played host to many important sporting events in its history. Because the MCG is often regarded as the Home of Australian Sports, the National Sports Museum is built to be able to hold exhibitions to celebrate all the key Australian sporting achievements.

The National Sports Museum houses a few organisations under its venue, namely the Australian Cricket Hall of Fame, the Australian Gallery of Sport and Olympic Museum, the Australian Football Hall of Fame, the Sport Australia Hall of Fame, and the Champions – Thoroughbred Racing Gallery. You will easily see exhibitions and sports artefacts displayed in the National Sports Museum on all days.
